Chapter 1071 give some benefits first
Thus, not only the Shandong clans that were originally suppressed, but even the Guanlong Group, the pillar of the Li Dynasty, who relied on starting a family, stood opposite to Uncle Li. At least so far, although it is still in a relatively calm period, it is because the current tax reform is still in its early stage. In addition, the military power has gradually been firmly controlled by Uncle Li. No matter in the era, the gun and the pen are of great use. After mastering these two things, Uncle Li has the possibility of fighting against the union of aristocratic families.
The emerging scholar group in the Tang Dynasty's scholar class agreed with reform, and similarly, the students of the Military Academy were united around Uncle Li. In addition, Uncle Li established his country with martial arts, and his reputation was unshakable, so he could suppress those old forces opposed to reform.
In addition, the people and business people also have a good impression of reform. To be honest, although the tax collection is higher than before, merchants are still willing to do it. Why? Because merchants are also among the people of the Tang Empire, they also hope to see a social system that gives them greater trade freedom and improve their social status.
However, the aristocratic families still have considerable voice in the court and military. The most prominent one is Uncle Li's close comrade-in-arms, eldest brother, and Changsun Wuji. He is currently a heavyweight in the Guanlong Group. At present, he still opposes Uncle Li's various reforms. Although Uncle Li has suppressed him, who knows what Changsun Wuji will do?
Uncle Li has been exhausted over the past period of time. The most important thing is that Changsun Wuji, a close comrade-in-arms, stood opposite him, and no one could convince anyone. Uncle Li also understood why Changsun Wuji opposed the change. It was because he bet on the interests of the power groups and then obstructed the reform of the Tang Empire.
This was something Li Zhi told me quietly. During this period, Changsun Wuji even found him, the prince, hoping that Li Zhi could express his attitude and persuade Uncle Li not to go too far and not to easily touch the interests of the Guanlong Group. It would cause great trauma to the Tang Empire and may even affect the stability and prosperity of the country. Li Zhi had no other skills, but it seemed that he had become his nature and instinct. It was like a money turtle that had retracted his limbs and head into the turtle shell, making Changsun Wuji return in vain. In the end, Li Zhi simply chased me behind my butt all day long, and Changsun Wuji could only stare at me.
If Changsun Wuji is a conservative, then I am a reformist. There is no point in talking about it. Moreover, this old guy has always been disgusted with me, so he naturally would not follow me with shamelessness and continue to persuade Li Zhi. However, one thing is certain, Changsun Wuji seemed to have completely given up on his Majesty the future emperor who controlled Li Zhi. Just a few days ago, when the court meeting, he met this uncle. He just lit up his head at Li Zhi, and even said polite words, he patted Li Zhi and left. Thinking about it, this guy always pretended to pat Li Zhi on the shoulder, put on his uncle's face, and lured Li Zhi in a straightforward manner.
From this conflict, I fully understand why Changsun Wuji, who was in another time and space, was defeated by Li Zhi and the Queen. The reason was that both Li Zhi and the Queen wanted to break the country's political power influence and restraint by the aristocratic families. However, Changsun Wuji was the hard-core spokesperson and main political power contender of the aristocratic families such as the Guanlong Group. With his existence, Li Zhi could not touch the foundation of the aristocratic families.
Now, because of the arrival of this young master, the emperor Uncle Li, who has huge political, civil and military reputation, is still alive. In addition, Uncle Li is vigorously promoting changes and is gradually expelling the forces of the aristocratic families in the court and the forces in the military group. At the same time, the imperial examination reform has been carried out, weakening and controlling the paths of the aristocratic families entering the official class, which naturally gives them a huge sense of crisis. Therefore, now, it can be said that it is the opportunity for life and death of the aristocratic families, and it would be strange if they don’t keep trying to obstruct them.
Uncle Li complained for a long time, and he also had some complaints about Changsun Wuji. However, I was not easy to interrupt this matter, and Li Zhi was not easy to interrupt. Uncle Li seemed to think it was inappropriate to continue complaining to us, such as us. He laughed and returned to the couch and sat down. He smiled and said, "You kid has made the people of Weinan so much. Not to mention Huazhou and Tongzhou around, even the people in our capital are all in a red eye."
"My nephew is just taking advantage of tricks. Besides, it's not just that you are helping your father-in-law and the prince. Otherwise, no matter how much trouble you make in Weinan, you will not be able to make any achievements." I responded with a smile. Uncle Li's eyes rolled, and his eyes were shining in his eagle: "It's nothing. Since I want to do it, I will do it thoroughly and support you with all my strength. Now, the key problem is not Weinan, but Tongzhou and Huazhou."
Uncle Li's expression and the words just now, how could I understand Uncle Li's meaning? "My father-in-law, do you want to expand the scope?"
"That's right, it's almost two years. You've done a good job. Although there are some minor mistakes and omissions, they don't harm the benefits of tax reform and official reform. My eyes are very good. What is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world. I can see clearly, but it's a pity that some people always care about their own selfishness and ignore the court and country." Uncle Li's voice was a little cold. Although the big furnace was burning in the house and the air was warm, I still felt the bone-thrusting chill with Li Zhi. Subconsciously, my eyes were closed and then lowered my head to listen to the training.
"Now, all the affairs of Weinan County have been on track. Son-in-law, I want to ask you, when do you think it is appropriate to expand the pilot scope?" Uncle Li stroked his long beard and said seriously, when is it appropriate? I should think about this carefully. Now? No, once it expands in a short period of time, the rebound will definitely be very strong. Moreover, the power of the aristocratic family is still quite deep-rooted. We cannot jump out and touch this brow first. The most important thing is that before Uncle Li officially takes action against the aristocratic family, we should not be the one who stands out.
After arguing in his heart, he said respectfully to Uncle Li: "My father-in-law, this matter is not urgent. I will still see the son-in-law. I will give the son-in-law a period of at least half a year to a year, because the officials who went to Weinan to train still lack training, and there are still many misunderstandings about the various newly implemented rules. Therefore, the son-in-law thinks that it is more appropriate to implement it later than earlier."
He said it out loudly. In fact, I hope that Uncle Li would first throw out the military reform plan and resolve the conflicts and conflicts that arise from it first. At that time, the severely damaged family naturally lost their energy and fought with me. Isn’t it that I let me roll flat and pinch the circle?
"Hahaha, you Fang Yiai, you have a good plan. Well, you have all plotted against me to my head?" Uncle Li was so smart. If he couldn't see through it, then he wouldn't be the wise and martial Emperor Taizong of Tang.
"Hehe, my father-in-law, how dare you plot against you? I just want to use Your Majesty's dragon power to capture everyone. Besides, although I did a good job in Weinan, there was no objection or conflict. It was because Your Majesty cherished her son-in-law and specially chose such a place without other major forces intervening. Otherwise, the son-in-law would have to take a very difficult step." I confessed to Uncle Li, which did not need to be covered at all. I also explained to Uncle Li clearly that it was not that we were unwilling, but because of the external environment and factors that forced me, an outstanding young man, to do this.
"... Besides, the son-in-law does not want to touch the interests of some people in advance because of the expansion of the special economic pilot, which will lead to some turmoil and changes in the court in advance, which will have a negative impact on the military reforms implemented by His Majesty."
"Okay! I did not misread you." Uncle Li clapped and shouted, his eyes full of appreciation. "I really hope to maintain stability before the military reform of the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, some forces with indecisive will can stand on our side. In addition, I hope that after making complete preparations, I will go on the verge of the virtuous son-in-law. The words of the virtuous son-in-law are very consistent with my wishes."
"Thank you, my father-in-law, for your compliment. However, the prince and the son-in-law still have something to do. I want to ask my father-in-law." I looked at Li Zhishi, don't always sit and say nothing, but look at the beam of the house. I don't believe there is a five million lottery prize waiting for you on the beam.
